Such an inspired, compelling and unique idea for a 'fragrance suggestions' video! I rarely see 'party season/Christmas time' fragrance suggestions for people living in hot climates and I'm so glad I clicked on this. Ambre Narguile would be one I'd definitely suggest also although it's been a long time since I had an Aussie Christmas so I'm the worst person to ask as it's been so long I can't remember what fragrances people wore at that time of year, what I would smell at festive parties and in general at that time of year right up to Christmas (and in the New Year). Back in the 1990s nobody cared about the seasons and I recall that it was really an olfactory bonanza, a free-for-all-come-as-you-are type of joyful, self-assured atmosphere where people would wear whatever they liked the smell of, whatever made them feel attractive and fun. I was as engaged and eager to hear each incoming suggestion of yours as everybody else in the Northern Hemisphere! Thanks Cherie for motivating me to shove on my thinking cap and look at my collection with an entirely fresh, stimulating new perspective. Wonderful!
Hi Cherie, you look lovely in your robe! Makeup is on-point. Thank you for filming it twice for us. Great list, I’ve been wanting to try Lost Wanderer. Maybe a xmas present to me (from me) 😊
I pulled out Bohemian Lime from G&B last week at the start of our heat wave here in Australia and fell in love with it all over again. It's a perfect unisex for high heat summers. So cooling and refreshing.
What a lovely video! Here in Texas (USA), we often have warm and balmy Christmases, so I’m always needing warm-weather “holiday perfume” recommendations. Thank you!
Gosh, you look so lovely today! I am in the US in the pacific northwest, so it's rainy and cold but not too cold yet. It's funny, but I have been trying not to wear a so called summer perfume I recently bought, but I am wearing it happily. It's Guerlain Embruns D' Ylang and I think it is wearing very well for winter because it is a yellow floral, but not beachy at all to my nose. oxJulia
Looking uber-glam Cherie 😍 Exquisite. Love that we can enjoy both Ambre Narguile regardless of our hemisphere. 😉 Still haven't tried 1472, but I'm with you on Vanille Tonka. Every time I wear one of Patricia's perfumes I can feel some of that Guerlain heritage coming through. Hope both you and Matt have a stellar party season! ❤
Thank you, Cherie, for recording the party season perfume video. I've just got Le Jardin de Monsieur Li and will have to wait for the warmer weather to wear it. Happy Holidays! 🎄
I agree with your take on Twilly; I so wish the ginger lasted a bit longer🫚. I've never spent Xmas in a warm country; I'm partially retiring in 2024 and something like this is on my bucket list
Baiser de Russie is coming back!?!? I love it so so much that I end up not wearing my remaining 40ml bc I don’t want to run out of it… please guerlain gods, bring it back! :D Really nice selection Cherie! I live in the cold now but I have spend a year in Australia before and listening to you always brings back such fond memories
Well like I said, don’t quote me but I’m sure I saw it somewhere! I’m not 💯 sure though I will investigate and see if I can remember where I got the info
Ok so I couldn’t find the post where I read it was coming back as something else BUT it isn’t discontinued- it’s just that you can only get it at the boutiques with the fountains (which for many people is as good as discontinued! I know I’ve never made it to a boutique) perhaps I was reading an old post that was referring to its re-release back in 2018? I didn’t think so though…anyway I guess we wait and see!
Oh goodness, it's so annoying when something doesn't work during filming! I'm glad you persevered... Loved hearing how you're wearing perfume for your hot Christmas!
So glad you did this video. Enjoyed it immensely. Your opening monologue had me in stitches!!! And you were in such good spirits despite having to refilm. That just does me in. 🤦♀️😂 i remember being in Bali and going to the beach for dinner (one of the big suf towns) and having that similar dining experience. Very casual; plastic tables and chairs in the sand on the beach eating lobster just caught from the sea and grilled on a big fire pit. Best memories ever. ❤❤ And thanks for reminding me to wear Lost Wonderer. I completely agree it has a lightness to it.
Another enjoyable and descriptive episode ,Cherie 🙏👌As you speak ,I am reminded of the almost uber hype last Christmas here over Kayali Burning Cherry.My husband gave me a small bottle.Marketing is a powerful thing but thankfully your lessons in fragrance discernment have sunk.in.😅Happy weekend to you & yours.xx
Happy Christmas, Cherie! I think marriage really suits you; you have always been a stunner but now you are positively glowing (and I refuse to believe that it’s just the Queensland weather)! Hugs from San Diego (where it also does not feel very Christmas-y). Happy holidays, everyone! 🥂
Unue, I did try it when I was in Melbourne attending a friends wedding. I like this one as well but I finally bought another one from the same house. It’s Amber., which was recommended by the shop owner. I love it. I think you might love it as we share similar taste in perfume. Lost wonderer, this is what I brought with me to Hong Kong and London for celebrating Christmas with my family 😊
You'd expect me to complain about the awful cold... It was 16 effing degrees when I woke up 🥵 Great fragrances tho. That lost wanderer was really nice. Hermes does have some great summery ones. It must be hard for folks who move from the northern hemisphere to have all them warm Christmas spices over a very hot period. Mulled wine on a summer's night. Anyways 😂 rambling on. Have a great day mate
😂😂😂 Jon you crack me up and truth be told I would probably be complaining about the cold if it was only 16 degrees too! Anything below 25 Celsius and I pull out the knitwear! 😂
Cherie thank you for this interesting list of festive season perfumes wearable in hot and humid climes.. Living in Tanzania I will be sweating at Christmas like you😊I am familiar with Vanille Tonka and 34 from Diptyque, both I love.. for the rest of your recommendations I will have to find a way to get my nose on when the opportunity arises🌸🌸🍀

Haha thank you Nell! Apart from the smudged mascara 🤫😂
I pulled out Bohemian Lime from G&B last week at the start of our heat wave here in Australia and fell in love with it all over again. It's a perfect unisex for high heat summers. So cooling and refreshing.
I've finally gotten around to trying Serge Lutens and L'Artisan Parfumeur and I'm loving 5 O'clock Au Gingembre and Tea For Two.
So good!
I contemplated putting both of these in the list, I should have! It would have been very long though lol
What a lovely video! Here in Texas (USA), we often have warm and balmy Christmases, so I’m always needing warm-weather “holiday perfume” recommendations. Thank you!
Yay! Oh I thought Texas might have still had cold Christmases! Maybe it was that crazy weather you guys had in 2020 that made me think that.
Gosh, you look so lovely today! I am in the US in the pacific northwest, so it's rainy and cold but not too cold yet. It's funny, but I have been trying not to wear a so called summer perfume I recently bought, but I am wearing it happily.

I love Embruns d’Ylang, I have a deluxe sample and eking it out slowly.
I watched this with the biggest smile on my face! Absolutely perfect list, Cherie! ❤ (added 1472 to my must try list!)
Shann! I’m glad you saw it 😍
Thank you Cherie for including LW. I do love wearing it despite the warm weather as well. ❤
It’s the ultimate Christmas scent!
Thirty seconds in, and I subscribed!
Haha this is the evidence I need to wear robes more often 😂 thank you and WELCOME! 🎉
Looking uber-glam Cherie 😍 Exquisite. Love that we can enjoy both Ambre Narguile regardless of our hemisphere. 😉 Still haven't tried 1472, but I'm with you on Vanille Tonka.

So true re Nicolai perfumes! Thank you for the compliment!
Thank you, Cherie, for recording the party season perfume video.
I've just got Le Jardin de Monsieur Li and will have to wait for the warmer weather to wear it.
Happy Holidays! 🎄
Hope you enjoy it! Happy New Year and apologies for taking so long to respond!

Vanille tonka I believe has a similar vibe to the vanilla in Shalimar, hi! Nice to see you again 😊
Oh yes! Agree!
Oh goodness, it's so annoying when something doesn't work during filming! I'm glad you persevered... Loved hearing how you're wearing perfume for your hot Christmas!
A test in patience and stamina 😂 (and to check my camera equipment before I film!)

I love your perfume reviews💫💗
Happy holidays! Thank you!!

Happy holidays, everyone! 🥂
haha thank you! Maybe a bit of the weather, a bit of lighting and makeup lol but I will take the compliment!
Your makeup looks beautiful 😍
Haha thank you! Strategic overuse of highlighter to distract from the terrible hair day! 😂
Unue, I did try it when I was in Melbourne attending a friends wedding. I like this one as well but I finally bought another one from the same house. It’s Amber., which was recommended by the shop owner. I love it. I think you might love it as we share similar taste in perfume.
Lost wonderer, this is what I brought with me to Hong Kong and London for celebrating Christmas with my family 😊
Thank you for the recommendation! I need to try more from the line. I will try to track down Amber!
hi from south africa 👋🏽 so glad to see recs for us enjoying summer right now 👙⛱️
Hello! 😍
Happy Holidays Cherie - I live in a warm northern hemisphere desert climate (Arizona) so you’ve piqued my interest with many of these 🌵🎄🌶️☀️🎅🏻
and to you Jill!
Eau des Merveilles Hermès would be a nice one too.
I rather enjoy the Elixir des Merveilles by Hermès better. It is not shy about the citrus!
You'd expect me to complain about the awful cold... It was 16 effing degrees when I woke up 🥵
Great fragrances tho. That lost wanderer was really nice. Hermes does have some great summery ones.
It must be hard for folks who move from the northern hemisphere to have all them warm Christmas spices over a very hot period. Mulled wine on a summer's night.
Anyways 😂 rambling on. Have a great day mate
😂😂😂 Jon you crack me up and truth be told I would probably be complaining about the cold if it was only 16 degrees too! Anything below 25 Celsius and I pull out the knitwear! 😂
Gingembre from Molinard is a good option too. Good n gingery but light and fresh enough to wear in the heat as there's lots of citrus 💛
That definitely sounds like one I need to check out!
It's definitely party season. Freshies and anything to cut through the humidity and bbq smells😁
nothing like a bit of Eau de Sausage to get you in the mood for the silly season
Cherie thank you for this interesting list of festive season perfumes wearable in hot and humid climes.. Living in Tanzania I will be sweating at Christmas like you😊I am familiar with Vanille Tonka and 34 from Diptyque, both I love.. for the rest of your recommendations I will have to find a way to get my nose on when the opportunity arises🌸🌸🍀
Im sure there are many alternatives for hot weather Christmas fragrances :) x
